Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was the evaluation of young couples' knowledge about the ways of transmission and prevention of influenza type A. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on young couples admitted to a private consulting center in Isfahan (Iran) in year 2010. Subjects were selected by systematic randomsampling method. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a standard questionnaire. Findings: In this study, 300 couples were evaluated. The mean age of our study population was 24.2 ± 6.3 years. Our recordings showed that 202 persons (67.3%) had a poor level, 67 participants (22.3%) had a moderate level, and 31 individuals (10.3%) had a good level of knowledge about Influenza. Considerably, the level of knowledge in women was higher than men. Age was not significantly related with the level of knowledge (P > 0.05), but had a significant association with education level (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that influenza education programs should be expanded substantially.
